Join us in “putting down our hoe” and spending some time just enjoying each other\, as Robert Frost reminds us: \n\nWhen a friend calls to me from the roadAnd slows his horse to a meaning walk\,I don’t stand still and look aroundOn all the hills I haven’t hoed\,And shout from where I am\, ‘What is it?’No\, not as there is a time to talk.I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground\,Blade-end up and five feet tall\,And plod: I go up to the stone wallFor a friendly visit. \n\nDon’t forget your market basket\, so you can stock up one some special local treats for your Thanksgiving table!

You can make your donation at the farm on the day of your hike. Just look for the donation jar at the main table. \nWe limit the number of hikers to 10 per session\, so that everyone can have a chance to interact with the goats. If your party is more than 10 people\, please find a session that is fully open. Then\, complete the registration form below and show that you’re bringing 10 guests. This will reserve your spot. You’ll then need to email us at info@pumpkinvinefamilyfarm.com to let us know the total number in your party and we’ll try to accommodate you. \nIf you need to cancel\, please let us know by 9 am on the morning of your hike. You can text or call Kelly at (207) 549-3096. \nPrepare For Your Hike:\nWe recommend getting to the farm a half an hour early\, so you can visit the baby goats in the barn and shop at the farmers market\, which offers some great snacks for the hike (think smoothies and cheese sticks!) \nSafe = Fun! \nOur goats have been hand reared from birth and are fully a member of their human herd. They love people but do not always realize where their horn tips are\, so adults need to supervise children’s interactions with them. Children younger than 4 must be able to be carried if the situation warrants. \nBe prepared for a Maine outdoor activity\, so you can make the most of your time with our goats. We recommend you wear waterproof boots in the spring and a hat and sunscreen in the summer. A water bottle and bug spray are always a good idea\, and be sure to check for ticks afterward. \nOur safety waiver is now available online — by registering for a hike\, you agree to the waiver for yourself and all members of your party\, including any minors in your party. We ask that you share the link to the waiver with everyone accompanying you to the farm. \nIf it rains or is over 90\, we usually cancel or reschedule hikes to avoid stressing the animals (and the people!). \nTo reserve your spot for the hike please click on the  “register” button below and complete the registration form that appears.

You can make your donation at the farm on the day of your hike. Just look for the donation jar at the main table. \nWe limit the number of hikers to 10 per session\, so that everyone can have a chance to interact with the goats. If your party is more than 10 people\, please find a session that is fully open. Then\, complete the registration form below and show that you’re bringing 10 guests. This will reserve your spot. You’ll then need to email us at info@pumpkinvinefamilyfarm.com to let us know the total number in your party and we’ll try to accommodate you. \nIf you need to cancel\, please let us know by 9 am on the morning of your hike. You can text or call Kelly at (207) 549-3096. \nPrepare For Your Hike:\nWe recommend getting to the farm a half an hour early\, so you can visit the baby goats in the barn and shop at the farmers market\, which offers some great snacks for the hike (think smoothies and cheese sticks!) \nSafe = Fun! \nOur goats have been hand reared from birth and are fully a member of their human herd. They love people but do not always realize where their horn tips are\, so adults need to supervise children’s interactions with them. Children younger than 4 must be able to be carried if the situation warrants. \nBe prepared for a Maine outdoor activity\, so you can make the most of your time with our goats. We recommend you wear waterproof boots in the spring and a hat and sunscreen in the summer. A water bottle and bug spray are always a good idea\, and be sure to check for ticks afterward. \nOur safety waiver is now available online — by registering for a hike\, you agree to the waiver for yourself and all members of your party\, including any minors in your party. We ask that you share the link to the waiver with everyone accompanying you to the farm. \nIf it rains or is over 90\, we usually cancel or reschedule hikes to avoid stressing the animals (and the people!). \nTo reserve your spot for the hike please click on the  “register” button below and complete the registration form that appears.
